Mum of former Ormskirk hairdresser Courtney Boorne allegedly strangled to death by boyfriend says: 'I didn't think he'd kill her'
The mother of a former Ormskirk hairdresser who was allegedly strangled to death by her boyfriend has told a jury: "I didn't think he'd kill her. I didn't think he'd be capable of hurting her."
Cheryl meanwhile stated that Cain "became more jealous, cocky, more argumentative". She recalled how Courtney had phoned her landline at around around 3.40pm on December 23 last year, saying: "She sounded slightly distressed. Mr Radcliffe suggested that Courtney would "go into a real rage" and be "difficult to reason with", "screaming and shouting". But Cheryl said: "Most of the time it was because Liam would go into her personal stuff. He would go into her mobile phone without permission."
A statement from Molly Fitzpatrick was also read to the jury during the second day of the trial. She is the partner of Ms Boorne's brother Daniel, and said: "We used to hang around together on the same estate in Litherland."I knew Liam from primary school. Liam was a typical boy, but I didn't like him and we didn't get on.
"Courtney seemed happy and was talking about Christmas. Before she left, she told Daniel and I she was going to leave Liam."
